So much of the damage seems to be being done online. By the time many of these kids get a referral, they're already bejiggered by the extreme nonsense they've seen there ... all, apparently, not challenged *anywhere* else, not by politicians, not by schools, ...

Would it be helpful to highlight to schools and such that the mild trans affirmative messages they're giving out are serving to cement some Scientology-level madness the kids are getting online ... so that teachers can help kids differentiate between being decent and being an absolute fruitcake?

In the UK there's a whole "prevent" system to save kids from violent cults, but that's a bit Orwellian, I don't want us to go in that direction. I do think educationalists need to get a perspective on the role they're playing, as an authority in the kids' lives.
